Hi there Creators,  I did a Facebook Live on Saturday (Easter Saturday) where I showed how to make this Coffee Cup, it's quite easy but can look really great with a couple of choccie eggs in it (or other things!)  so I thought I'd share it here with you too: Do watch the video below to learn how to create these, let me know if you have a go!, and don't forget to follow me on Facebook for my Something Saturday videos. Being CreateAble with Heather Facebook   I hope this inspires you to create! God Bless love Heather

 Hi there Creators,  well a week or so ago I posted this video for my Something Saturday Facebook live, and I'm a bit late in putting it up here! Here are the cards I've made using this fancy fold that I saw at the Picture to Page show recently.  This is the first one I made up with the new Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper, which is sadly sold out at the moment! (very popular) Currently the card I made in the video has gone walkies, however I did make this card up using the same World of Good Designer Series Papers that the one in the video is made with.  I love the brass foil designs that are on some of the sheets. Rough instructions are that you start off with a square piece of card, score it in 1/2 both ways (so it has 4 small squares), cut one of the score lines up to the centre point.  If you have that cut line down the bottom, you then fold the top 2 squares diagonally backwards, and that's pretty much all the folding!   Do watch the video below for more in depth

 Hi there Creators, Today I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to clean up my desk, it's one of those jobs that you get started on then find things you haven't finished off....  So instead of cleaning I ended up finishing off a couple of things, hence the UFOs Unfinished Objects, as it turns out I end up using the In Bloom Bundle for both of them. The first one was this card, which I'd previously stamped but hadn't got any further, so I added the ribbon and the gorgeous Artistry Blooms sequins and finished it off: The other project is a 3D one, for which I had the "bones" made up, specifically the outside box bit, but I had plans for the inside which hadn't happened, so finally I chose the colours and what I was going to decorate it with, and here's the finished article...... I admit I did do the inside first, however you get to see the outside first lol, it's a bit purple as I was thinking about a couple of friends who love purple (plus I curre

 Hi there, Well I've chosen to do my card class in April using the fabulous Sand & Sea Suite collection .  I just love the way the stamps match the dies and even the embossing folder. Oh and the fabulous Pearlescent Specialty Paper...... When you use them, just so you know; Cut, Stamp then Emboss! Anyway on to the cards that you'll be creating in my classes this month...... I'm really happy with the way this card turned out, I really wanted this big conch shell to stand out on the card, as totally unique.  In "real life" the shell has the beautiful pearl look from the Pearlescent paper. This next card I was hoping would work as either a guy or gal card, I hope you can see the gold flecks in the card stock (looks even greater in real life lol)   Then the last card is a 3D corner fancy fold card, using some of the Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper   I also love these little Opal rounds that I've used here to prop up the easel part of this card  (they'

 Hi there Creators, I did a Facebook live video a couple of weeks ago on this cute pop open box, and thought I'd share it here for you too, I've finally got round to uploading it to YouTube today! Here is the first box I made: I've used the beautiful Hydrangea Hill designer series paper, then I made this one in the video I had been scrolling around on the internet and found it but of course it was American and used imperial measurements not metric, so I've converted it to metric - specifically tailored to an A5 sheet.   This is my roughly written out instructions that I use, however just in case the markings aren't making enough sense..... Take your sheet of A5 in landscape, and score it at 1cm and 10cm, Then in portrait score it 2cm in one side and 2.5cm the other side On the 2.5cm side you need to cut at 6cm and 16cm (only up to the 2.5cm scored line) trim off the little bits as shown in the 1cm scored portion Using a bone folder you'll need to score the diago

 Hi there Creators, I was surfing YouTube the other day looking for nothing in particular and came across a video from a lady in the State called Linda Heller who was showing how to create Pearlized paper, I thought it was so cool that I had to have a go too! It involves Cardstock, a blending brush and a pot of Frost White Shimmer Paint (so tempting to say a pot of gold lol)     Anyway, moving on...... the general gist is you use the blending brush to brush the card stock with the frost white shimmer paint, and then do whatever you're going to do with it, here's what I did!... I've used the amazing Sand & Sea Suite, in particular the Friends are like Seashells bundle and the Seashells 3D embossing folder (it pack a really WOW!) Sadly it's really hard to capture the pearly effect it gives in a photo (or at least it is for me!)  However I've made a little video to go with it, so do check this out too: I hope it inspires you to have a go, God Bless love  Heathe

 Hi there Creators I showed this on my facebook page the other day, but I know not everyone is a fan of FB so I'm sharing it here for you too 😊 I've now uploaded the video to YouTube, which I'll include in this blog post, however a quick run down of what's in it..... So when you first get your Gilded Leafing , you'll need a bigger pot to put it into and a sponge or brush to help wipe off the excess.  HOWEVER.... it is soooo worth it! you can purchase Heat & Stick Powder which means you can turn your stamps into gilded images like this: you can pretty much use any glue to apply the gilded leafing, the next example I have is using the Tear & Tape Adhesive (ultra easy!) After that I've used the Adhesive sheeting : attached it to cardstock, then layered on my Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper , then dunked into the gilded leafing I did use the Stampin' Seal and glue dots , which look great for a small embellishment!,  but haven't got round to
